Chapter 67: Three Days (1)

July 17th, at night, Liangnong Town.

After a while, the exhausted radiator camp finally completed the cleaning of the town with the assistance of the auxiliary soldiers. At this time, Liangnong Town, except for the residents who had fled before, there were no longer even a single living young man and a strong man. Some of them were left with the Qing army who were organized into the female camp to provide for the victorious Qing army and the ruined women and children.

In the earlier battle, although there were considerable casualties, the Xibiao Battalion successfully achieved a great victory by taking advantage of the collapse of the left wing of the Ming army and the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.

The commander of the Ming army, Wang Yi, was captured with all his strength. The central army commanded Huang Zhongdao, Liu Yiming, the right wing commanded Du Xingguo, and the left wing commanded Du Xingguo, were killed in battle. The following dozens of generals led by troops, including Fang Shuixin, the guards of Dalanshan Central Camp, were either killed, captured or surrendered, while Chen Diaolun, Zou Xiaonan and other Ming army generals were missing.

Even though he achieved such brilliant results, Tian Xiong was extremely impressed by the tenacity shown by the Ming army in the early stage of the war and the small number of Ming soldiers who chose to stay to guard the commander among the rolling fleeing south.

Especially after the Ming army, which was close to the hillside, was killed all the time, and the general who was beating the war drum, was still slashing every Qing soldier who dared to rush up the hillside to try to capture the enemy commander's great achievements. Especially after knowing that this general was not Wang Yi's direct general, this surprise was even better than before.

There were many Ming troops captured, so many that he could not afford to support them at all and did not intend to raise them. Tian Xiong planned to choose his strength and supplement them with the auxiliary soldiers as usual, and after they completely surrendered and loyal to him, they would then replenish them into the military camp. As for the rest, regardless of whether the reason for the dispatch of troops was involved, he did not intend to stay and waste food. However, in order to prevent chaos, it is safer to execute them in batches.

Among the prisoners, Wang Yi was the one with the highest official title. Tian Xiong gave up his plan to persuade him to surrender once, and his hatred and disdain were full of his eyes that really made him unable to think of a way to surrender. Of course, he was not convenient to kill Wang Yi directly, but chose to hand over this hot potato to other Qing officials. Anyway, whether the persuasion of surrender was successful or not, he could not escape the credit for his capture. Why not give other people some good popularity?

In comparison, the casualties of Tibiao Battalion this time exceeded his expectations. The Central Camp suffered the least losses, with more than ten people killed in battle and more than a hundred people seriously injured; then the Left Camp, dozens killed in battle and less than two hundred people seriously injured; the worst was the Right Camp, with more than a hundred people killed in battle and nearly four hundred people seriously injured. If the auxiliary soldiers had not shared the considerable casualties, this number would have been even greater.

The casualties were beyond expectations, which made him have to be grateful for the timely encirclement and suppression, and the surrendered general of the Ming army who took the initiative to surrender and secretly communicated with Kuan Qu. However, he should still try to give more of his brothers to his group of brothers. This is the way to make the general.

"General Yu of the Central Army first led the headquarters and the Shaoxing Green Camp to encircle and suppress the bandits in Kuaiji Mountain, and then marched urgently to the place, defeated the left wing of the bandits, and drove away the defeated soldiers to disperse the bandits' formation..."

Yu Fenqi knew very well that his central camp was just a benefit from the surrendered general in this battle, and his credit would not be very high. Fortunately, when he surrounded and suppressed Kuaiji Mountain Wang Shanchang and Zhang Qincheng, he also participated in the battle. At this moment, since the old commander used "leading" rather than "assistance", his main contribution was naturally his, and the deputy general of Shaoxing Green Camp could not be taken away.

"Right Camp..."

"Previous General Li of Zuoying, before the war, swept the bandits in the northwest of Siming Mountain with the Right Camp, and attacked the bandits' central army, causing their positions to be in chaos..."

Unlike Yu Fenqi and others, Li Rong was very dissatisfied with Wang Sheng's sudden turn against the battlefield. Originally from the main attack position, he had already knocked the formation of the Ming army into a concave, and the breaking of the formation was only in a flash. Although Wang Sheng's turn against the Qing army made it easier for him to win, it also led to his failure, which made him not angry.

In fact, there is also Tian Xiong's reason. If he hadn't issued the general attack order, Wang Sheng would not have been exhausted. However, in Li Rong's eyes, Tian Xiong was an old commander who had been loyal to him for many years. The choice he made must be for the good of their subordinates, and it has always been like this, so this made him unable to tolerate Wang Sheng's face.

"This time, the main force of the Siming Mountain bandits has been defeated, and all the lords have made great contributions. This general must ask the emperor and the governor for the lords to ask for the lords."

"I wish to die for the general."

Although the losses were a little bigger, are the soldiers who were fighting in the camp and flowing through the market? Are they afraid that they can't recruit soldiers with money and food? Even if they can't recruit Lafuzi, can't they? Everyone is a long-time general, and their eating skills are still quite skillful.

Isn't it just for this contribution that I spent so much effort here? Almost all the officers of the Extraordinary Battalion were present. They knew that the old commanders who had followed them for many years would not treat them badly, so they all ate the wine and meat of celebration and responded happily to Tian Xiong's approval.

Tian Xiong praised the generals present and did not mention Wang Sheng's contribution. However, although Wang Sheng, who was sitting at the tail seat at the door, had already shaved the same money as these people, he still did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. After all, this matter still depends on Tian Xiong and the generals of the raising camp, and it is inevitable that he will be greedy for some credit.

"When I climb up, you will be beautiful."

During the meal, Wang Sheng frequently toasted Tian Xiong and other generals of the battalion, showing goodwill and complimented him. Even the guards were not spared. He spoke very politely with Tian Xiong's personal soldiers. His grandson pretended to be very good at his usual level.

After drinking and eating, Tian Xiong threw the horse out as usual, and asked his personal soldiers to supervise and reward the soldiers who were watching the night. After doing these preventive work, he rewarded some of the women who were stolen with outstanding appearance for the generals to enjoy the lust.

The next day, after the tent was promoted, Tian Xiong issued a new order.

"From today, our army will rest here for several days. Two days later, Deputy General Li will lead the 800 soldiers of the Zuoying camp and the 1,500 auxiliary soldiers to encircle and suppress the bandits' nest Dalan Mountain..."

Initially, Tian Xiong and Jin Li should have advanced from the north and south to siege Dalan Mountain. After destroying the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, they would then disperse their forces to wipe out other Ming troops. In order to prevent the Ming army from using this place again, they naturally had to kill all the people they saw. Only those who surrendered in advance could survive, but they should also be resettled.

But although he didn't know how this plan was leaked, the surrendered general Wang Sheng, who took advantage of Feng Jingdi's mentality of preventing the eunuch party, distorted the plan of the general Chen from Dalanshan, and finally turned against him in the last battle, which led to the defeat of the Ming army. At this moment, the Ming army units in Simingshan were no longer threatened, as long as they arrived at Dalanshan to meet the Alloy Jinli troops.

Although there are two battalions left in Dalan Mountain, in Tian Xiong's opinion, they should be like a broken dog and are in panic all day long. Although they don't know the situation in the southern part of Siming Mountain, it is estimated that Mao Mingshan's rear battalion cannot stop Jin Li, and 80% have been solved. Even if the remaining Chen Wen is heard of some combat effectiveness, he is probably alone. As long as Li Rong leads his troops to siege him in Dalan Mountain, if he can conquer Dalan Mountain, he can also balance the difference in the contributions of the Zuoying and the Central Camp.

Of course, in addition to the Zuoying, although the Youyingying made a lot of contribution this time, it is still less than the Zuoying and Zhongying, which are about to capture the enemy's old nest, and the losses are also heavier. Then, we must balance it again.

"This time, the Right Battalion was a victory for our army and suffered heavy losses. The general decided to use Xu Lei, the Thousand General of the Right Battalion, to lead two hundred soldiers to cooperate..."

Xu Lei, the Thousand General of the Right Camp, was born in Tian Xiong's personal army and was also the nephew of Xu Xin, the general of the Central Army. He was very popular on weekdays. Tian Xiong decided to use this person to take this merit with the Left Camp, so that he could ensure the satisfaction of the Central Camp and the Right Camp at the same time.

"General Wang is just a first-timer, but he is quite familiar with the terrain here. You can lead a hundred units to lead the way."

"The villain thanks Dashui for his trust. The villain will do his best to lead the way for Deputy General Li and General Xu Qian, so as to repay the hero's kindness to the villain."

Looking at Wang Sheng lying on the ground, Tian Xiong was quite satisfied with the man's obedience.

"General Wang is easy to do. After taking down Dalan Mountain, I will report to the Governor General to ask for merit for you."

"The villain thanks the handsome man for his kindness."

……………………

At the same time, Wang Yi's personal soldier captain Wang Xiuquan also rushed to Dalan Mountain.

After breaking out of the siege yesterday afternoon, he ran all the way, but at night, it was difficult to walk on the mountain road, let alone running wildly. So he had to get off the horse and walk slowly, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, for fear that it would harm others' lives as Wang Yi said.

At dawn, Wang Xiuquan had already walked through the most difficult part and immediately ran wildly, and at this moment he had already arrived at the gate of Dalanshan Old Camp.

After entering the gate, Wang Xiuquan hurried to the central army hall. After seeing Wang Jiang, he asked to retreat to the left and right. After confirming that there was no one else in the central army hall, he told Wang Jiang about the whole battle.

"Yesterday afternoon, the royal army gathered 8,000 soldiers and 12,000 auxiliary soldiers to fight the Tartars..."

Wang Xiuquan told the story as quickly as possible, and even Wang Sheng turned against him in person. However, he did not know the final outcome of Wang Yi, because at that time he had already rushed out of the defeated army and rushed back to report the news.

"Jianglai, Jinglai is probably 80% dead." As he said that, Wang Xiuquan even sat down on the ground and started crying hysterically.

Wang Jiang finished all this in a daze, his eyes were dull. Even though Wang Xiuquan was already crying, he did not react at all. He repeatedly looked at the dead loyal souls on the battlefield dozens of miles away.

Wang Xiuquan cried for a while and found that Wang Jiang still had no reaction at all, but he did not dare to wake him up, for fear of being scared away.

At this moment, Wang Jiang suddenly started to cry, and was even better than Wang Xiuquan in hysteria, as if after the soul returned, the long-standing feelings broke through the dam.

"I harmed Wanxun, I harmed the soldiers..."

Wang Jiang's two words turned and flipped, which really scared Wang Xiuquan. Just as he was about to convey Wang Yi's "destiny" to the Shangguan in front of him who was obviously out of control and trying to reawaken his rationality, Wang Jiang suddenly fainted in his seat, and he lay on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and no matter how he called it, there was no movement.

"What should I do?" The situation in front of him made Wang Xiuquan no longer care about his sadness. The matter was extremely urgent, but Wang Yi's deputy in front of him had fainted, which caught him off guard.

"By the way." Wang Xiuquan, who muttered to himself for a moment, suddenly remembered Wang Yi's original words. "And General Chen!"

Wang Xiuquan, who found the life-saving straw, rushed out immediately. Seeing Hu Er at the gate, he told him that Wang Jiang fainted and asked him to go to see the doctor of the old doctor Lu. Then he ran all the way and headed straight for the West Schoolyard.

At this time, Chen Wen did not supervise the training on the school ground, but hid in the house and reread the "Secret Collection of Military Training". His army now uses the organization used by Qi Jiguang when he fought against Japanese devils in the south. It is very useful against infantry, but if the opponent attacks with light cavalry, would it be better to use sticks for two spearmen?

Just as he was wandering around the manuscript paper, Wang Xiuquan rushed in without regard to Zhang Jun's stop.

Chen Wen knew that this man was quite mature on weekdays, and he must have important things to do like this at this moment, and this person clearly followed Wang Yi to war, which gave him an ominous premonition.

When Wang Xiuquan retelled the words he had just said to Wang Jiang to Chen Wen, even Chen Wen was completely shocked.

The night before yesterday, Chu Jiuru received news that Wang Shanchang and Zhang Qincheng were defeated and died. After a brief discussion, Chen Wen decided to send an envoy to report to Wang Yi.

At that time, although he had the idea of ​​disobeying orders and leading troops to Liangnong Town to assist in the war, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and even at night. Even if he sent troops, he could only make a journey during the day. If there was no problem when he arrived, it would lead to the breakdown of the alliance. On the other hand, in history, Shaoxing Green Camp was defeated by the Ming army in Dalan Mountain many times, and Wang Yi also had a large number of friendly troops around him, so it should be fine.

But this lucky idea made Chen Wenshen regret that he did not choose to disobey at that time. However, he did not know that Dalan Mountain was nearly thirty miles away from the battle site on the map of later generations. If this was the mountain road that was turning around at this time, even if he sent troops the night before, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the battle.

Before this, Chen Wen never thought that the Ming army would eventually face such a crushing defeat. Although his chance was modified beyond recognition, the Ming army's military strength was too strong. According to the truth, even if it could not fight and win, it should not be difficult to escape unstoppable.

Even the words that once appeared in his mind when he was excluded, such as "I am not the Virgin. Since you don't want to live, then you will die" were actually just venting the anger in his heart. You must know that Ming Jun's failure will not benefit him at all!

When I learned about Wang Sheng's rebellion, because only one sentence was recorded in the history books, the actions of the little man he had forgotten in history finally reappeared in Chen Wen's mind.

"The captains broke through Siming Mountain Village and bought Jingdi very quickly. The general Wang of Jingdi, who was the chief of Jingdi, wanted to make a contribution to Jingdi. He said to the captain: The Censor Fengdu knows where he is, but he only knows it. He leads the captains to win the peak of the mountain. Jingdi is very sick and refuses to kneel down when he sees Jin Li. Tian Xiong is on the side and plunders the servant land. He will be killed tomorrow."

The words come from "The Legend of Crying Overseas" written by Huang Zongxi.

Chen Wen should have long remembered the records of this person in history books. At least when he first met Wang Sheng, he thought that Feng Jingdi died by betrayal by a rebel general. However, the situation of being forced at that time was urgent, so he had no time to take care of him. Later, this person disappeared into his world, so the memories hidden in his mind were not detected.

Two years ago, Wang Yi was chased by Zhejiang Governor Biao Battalion, and Feng Jingdi was hiding in the house and could escape the pursuit. This time, Wang Sheng was able to easily capture Feng Jingdi, who was hidden on the more secret mountain. There are probably no small number of plots here.

If I had remembered that this person was a rebel general who betrayed Feng Jingdi, Chen Wen would definitely be wary of this person in advance and would not have been like this now.

"I was the one who harmed Zhengluo Wang..."

Since he decided to stay, he has planned to rewrite this history every day. At this moment, history has changed, but the ending of the Ming army has not changed, and this was completely caused by the little man he had forgotten, which made him quite regretful.

Fearing that Chen Wen might also enter Wang Jiang's state, Wang Xiuquan hurriedly dissuaded him. He came with Wang Yi's will. If both of the two responsible persons were unable to turn the tide, wouldn't Wang Yi die in vain?

"Chen Guerrilla, the governor left his will and ordered Deputy Xian and the general to cover the retreat of Simingshan people and not to slaughter the Tartars. At this moment, Wang Deputy Xian is already ill, and the soldiers and civilians of Simingshan are counting on you!"

Yes, I also have to protect the Chinese people here!

"The last general will be determined to live up to the entrusted entrusted by the ruler, and the people living in China here will not be allowed to slaughter the Tartars!"

"Very good, I also firmly believe that Fu Ren's words will be trusted."

The promises that were sworn were like trust from another world, and the voice seemed to be free, and Chen Wen's eyes gradually became deeper.

When he arrived at the central army hall, Hu Er had already arrived with the old doctor Lu, and was treating Wang Jiang.

When Chen Wen immediately praised him and then asked Wang Jiang about his illness, he immediately asked about Wang Jiang's condition.

"From the pulse, Wang Deputy Xian fainted because he was so angry that he was so angry that he fainted. I could use acupuncture to awaken Deputy Xian. However, if the heart knot is not removed, I am afraid that waking up will be in vain."

That means it would be better to let him continue to sleep?

After several months of getting along, Chen Wen knew that Wang Jiang was a weak person. If he beat Chu Suxian that day, if Wang Yi was present, dozens of military sticks would not be able to escape. How could it be as simple as fines for silver? Even the demotion was decided only by Wang Yi when he came back. Wang Jiang, who was fully responsible for the responsibility of the manager, was not suitable for decision-making at all. It is best to handle meticulous matters with peace of mind.

He must have been shocked by the news that Wang Yi died and the Ming army was wiped out, so he fainted. However, Chen Wen did not know Wang Jiang's stupid words over and over again, otherwise he would have been able to judge that what caused all this was actually more self-blame.

Wang Deputy Xian, you are forcing me to be a heart-striker, so don’t blame me for placing the forbidden spell.

After deciding how to act, Chen Wen issued three orders: First, bring Wang Jiang to the second hall to rest so that he would not be scared of anything else by the forbidden spell; Second, he ordered all Nantang camps to mobilize. Li Ruixin and Yin Yue, who were on standby on the mountain, immediately closed the gate of the old camp and prohibited anyone from entering and leaving; Third, he ordered all responsible officials of the old camp to report immediately to the Central Army Hall, and no mistakes should be made.

After all the officials arrived, Chen Wen directly informed everyone of the news of the Ming army's defeat, and he was also surprised, fearful, unbelievable or at a loss. Just when these people were so shocked by the cruel reality that they didn't know what to say, he began to recite the epic forbidden spells.
